Phillip Arantz

From WikiLeaks

In 1971, as a member of the New South Wales police, while working on a computerization program, Arantz discovered that the NSW police service had been systematically under-reporting crime statistics for years. Arantz took his allegations to senior police but they were dismissed out of hand. Frustrated, he eventually leaked his information to the press, so an enraged Commissioner Allan began a vicious campaign to destroy Arantz’s credibility. As a result, Arantz was suspended, forced to undergo a psychiatric assessment, and, finally, dishonorably discharged from the force; it took him years to clear his name. Later inquiries found the NSW police force engaged in highly corrupt activities and organized crime.
